Introduction
Joan M Cory is a notable inventor based in Bozeman, MT (US). She has made significant contributions to the field of medical technology, holding a total of 5 patents. Her work focuses on systems and methods that enhance the precision of medical procedures.
Latest Patents
One of her latest patents is the "Active electrode, bio-impedance based, tissue discrimination system and methods of use." This invention involves applying a waveform signal to tissue between two electrodes and measuring the electrical characteristics of the signal transmitted through the tissue. At least one of the electrodes is constrained in area, allowing for localized electrical characteristics of the tissue to be measured. The process includes using an array of electrodes or movable electrodes over the body. A controller implements the process and performs calculations on the measured data to identify tissue types and locations, presenting results in graphical form. This technology can be combined with other tissue imaging technologies and image-guided systems.
Another significant patent is the "Nerve stimulator output control needle with depth determination capability and method of use." This improved nerve stimulator needle enhances ease of use and efficacy in targeted drug delivery to nerves. It features a variable control mechanism housed with a needle and several electrical conductors. The housing contains an embedded fluid path for a syringe attached to the needle. This design allows for positioning the needle and applying current with the same hand. Additionally, the needle may have a linear resistive coating to determine its depth by measuring the resistance of the length above the skin surface.
